Default Gm govenor solenoid

I remember reading something about this but do not recall all the details and did a search and did not really find anything. Was this better than the dodge solenoid? I have the tranny on the table and would like to take care of all the "tips" and sugestions before I put the tranny back in.

Thanks

Yes, the GM system is far superior to the dodge.....

Here is part of it, I think, might be all of it, but, I recall the dodge pressure transducer had issues with WOT....

Just make sure it will fit your specific year.

No, I just know they changed the plugs on certain years, but I think that's for the pressure switch. But I believe you reuse the switch anyway. You should replace it too btw.

I probably will. What about the transducer? Should that be replaced as well?

I'm no tranny expert, so I don't know what the hell that is? LOL I know about the governor part of it. Gov pressure switch and Gov solenoid.

Transducer, pressure sensor/switch: Same part, different names.
